New chess engine: Steel Fighter (Stockfish derivatives)

Steel Fighter by Solista.  Eduard NemethI created this engine for playing on Lichess. The engine uses an extremely fast random op. MultiPV mode! With a value of 2 (default) the engine is only slightly slower than Stockfish dev. Positionally, the Enghine plays a little weaker than Stockfish dev, but tactically it is much better. On Lichess, where half of the enemies are non-Stockfish and make more tactical mistakes, you'll have more fun with Steel Fighter. Steel Fighter is also a good addition for short tactical analyses. Download Win 64 Bit (avx2, bmi2, sse41, source code): https://pixeldrain.com/u/Yqp3g6TT Note: This engine uses special code and specially adapted networks. A change leads to worse results and also incorrect ratings. Steel Fighter download

Marauders 3.5 FINAL BOSS - new Stockfish clone

Marauders  - UCI chess engine (Stockfish clone) Chess Engines Diary Rating CEDR=3744 Includes a code that adjusts the evaluation of the chess position based on a rating advantage. It uses a scaling factor based on the rating advantage to modify the evaluation of positions, potentially giving more weight to guaranteed draws in the engine's evaluation function when a rating advantage is present.

Chess engine: Deep Ripper exp (Stockfish derivatives)

Deep Ripper exp (Stockfish derivatives) by Eduard Nemeth Author: " New ways (engine for download). There is little point in continuing to optimize in single variant mode. In the future, I will bundle the variants in Random Op. MultiPV mode. Two variants (or more) see more than just one. I started with a first ultra-fast engine that calculates up to 5 plies deeper than SF dev in the first 30s in single variant mode. With 2 variants, the engine is just as fast as SF dev. There are no limits here. The selective search depth can be easily increased or decreased, etc. The number of variants as well. A first experimental version is now available here. But I ask you to remember that this is only the first test version of this kind. I hope everyone has fun testing, and you will! Deep Ripper (exp) the new way of engine optimization!"
